Discussion
With a deepening upper-level trough overhead and a developing surface low pressure system, “wraparound” rain showers will continue today in an unstable environment and they’ll continue off and on right through tomorrow evening. The surface low pressure system will, in fact, be “forced” to rotate around for a period of time as it becomes increasingly influenced by the strong blocking high pressure system stationed to the north of here over northeastern Canada.
As colder air wraps into the system, the rain can mix with snow later tonight and perhaps can change to all snow for awhile on Friday. In fact, small accumulations are even possible on Friday across some of the northern and western suburbs of the NYC metro region. There will significant snowfall across some of the higher elevation locations of upstate NY from the Catskills to the Adirondacks where some early season skiing looks quite possible.
